Course Overview

In accordance with the WHS Act and Regulations 2011 under Primary Duty of Care, a PCBU must provide information, training, instruction or supervision that is necessary to protect all persons from risks to their health and safety arising from work carried out as part of the conduct of the business or undertaking.

Yellow Card courses provide evidence of formal training for the following equipment:

• Boom Lift (under 11m) - BL
• Scissor Lift - SL
• Vertical Lift - VL
• Trailer Lift - TL

Depending on which type of EWP equipment you require training on, a Yellow Card can provide evidence of training which is both specific to your particular model of equipment and to EWPs in general.

Cobra Training Services delivers regular public training courses for boom lift (under 11m) and scissor lifts at our site in Wetherill Park on a regular basis.

We can also provide this service at your site for groups of 6-8 people if you have your own appropriate EWP equipment and resources. We do not charge any call out fees.
